The current owners of the house bought it two years ago. They told us it had been sitting abandoned for four years and there was a family of racoons living in the house when they bought it. The only way to describe this 4800 sq ft house is TOTALLY AWESOME. The house is full of exposed wooden beams that were hand chiseled no saw marks on the beams. two inch thick solid wood doors throughout. The stage had two hidden doors one on each side of the stage. the one to the right when facing the stage led to ren clarks office. the owners told us back in the day the office had one wall floor to celing lined with photos of stars that had been entertained in his house. when facing the stage the secret door to the left led to a passageway to a large bathroom/makeup room. The bar was built at the same time as the polynesian village and by the same people. Down the hill from the main house there is a 1200 sq ft building that was his aviary for breeding birds. It was later converted into a two bed one bath guest home. One cool story the owners told us was back in the day ren ordered 40 turtle shells from Mexico which he planned to use as lighting reflectors in his yard. 40 large live sea turtles showed up at the house. I guess they ate a lot of turtle soup and steaks up at the polynesian village for a while. There were six of us taking down his home bar and all the bamboo in the room and it took us eight hours to do it. This bar and all the bamboo will be rebuilt into our new home when we find it and we will post pictures of it in its new setting when it is done and all tc'ers are welcome to come by the bar for a drink
